Rise of the Empire Era

The Aggressive ReConnaissance fighter (also called the ARC-170 fighter) is the spiritual predecessor to the X-Wing starfighter that emerged in the later days of the Clone Wars. One of the few Republic starfighters to bear its own hyperdrive (even the V-19 clone fighter and the Eta-2 interceptor cannot perform hyperspace travel on their own), the ARC-170 is designed to undertake long-range and deep space missions anywhere in the galaxy.

Utilized by Darth Maul, these probe droids prove a valuable and stealthy addition to the Sith Lord's arsenal. Their equipment and sneaking skills allow them to slip in and out of target areas virtually unnoticed, and though not well armed, they rarely fail in their infiltration missions.

These droids were critical in helping the Trade Federation with their subjugation of the planet Naboo. Though expensive to produce, they were some of the most powerful and fear-instilling weapons the Federation had. Their true advantage is in their rate of fire, with each round resulting in an incredible amount of fire dispensed at its opponents.

After their failings at the Battle of Naboo became readily apparent, the older models of centrally-controlled battle droids quickly went out of production. Despite huge financial losses, Baktoid Combat Automata simply remodeled their battle droids, and used their existing manufacturing facilities to begin producing their new, improved E-5 model.

A secretive, concealing species, Fosh are easily recognizable as being of avian descent. They have a light bone structure, feathered body, and reverse-jointed legs. Fosh are few in number, as they have tended to stay on their planet of origin and mind their own business. They are mostly unremarkable, save for one interesting observation: their tears are a powerful healing fluid, rivalling bacta in strength. This fluid evaporates quickly, however, making the possibility of artificially reproducing it quite slim.

Many Chagrians find their way into politics or other professions where a strong will is appreciated. They are a competitive but cosmopolitan species that views eating as merely a necessary nuisance.

This early model of transport from Corellian Engineering Corporation varies greatly in design from the general concept of the later ships in the YT series of transports. Slender and long, this ship looks like a loaf of bread sliced lengthwise along each side; essentially, a long, slender center section with two engine nacelles on either side providing thrust. The ship saw a good amount of use during the days of the Old Republic, as like most CEC designs it was easily modified. Almost nothing in the ship's design, save for a few core systems, was unalterable, and smugglers, pirates, merchants, and other spacefaring entrepeneurs took advantage of this and turned their ships into a personalized transport that suited their needs perfectly.
